Castle 1717 1580Kv

I purchased a new motor today (so did Romano) it's a Castle 1717 1580Kv Beast. See Below

It's the one in the middle. The one on the left is a typical 1512 buggy size motor and the one on the right is a 2025 for 1/5th apps.

And Andres it's still not my fault you went home and bought 2 motors for yourself. I'm pretty sure Chris did the same thing. SHAME ON Y'ALL

I wouldn't do it. The MMM or RX8 is the bare minimum.

Got the motor in today but it is the Air version w/6mm shaft. Castle is already sending the Car version to me with return postage for the Air version(I might end up keeping this one to...Castle does have my card on file).

Here is some pics of the 1717 next some other motors.Left: Hacker C40 7TMiddle: Tekin T8 2050KvRight: Castle 1717 1500Kv

I don't know. But my guess is that they say 7-10 days to cover their butts. Either way I really didn't get MY motor but the correct one should be here Friday.

Andres I have had the Hotwire in my truck for 2 days now.....Where have you been?

Romano have you decided to send yours back or keep it?

How much did you get it for?

There is also a Speed Passion 2.0 carbon edition on RCTech for 95.00 shipped.

And y'all say I'm a bad influence just don't want you to miss the good deals.

Yea my horsebehind lol dude that motor probably has so much torque it would pick up the whole 18R and twist the chassis in half and break it like a tooth pick lol Rigghtt you go ahead and put it in a 18r
